The main claim of this study is that British pressure, exercised above all through their intelligence services, led Franco to distance himself from the Axis cause and eventually embrace that of the Allies. Starting from a virtually non- existent base, the British rapidly built up a complex intelligence network in Spain that stretched from Corunna to Barcelona and from Bilbao to Gibraltar. As Spain was a non-belligerent, spy networks--including those of the Germans, Italians, Portuguese and British--proliferated in the Iberian Peninsula. Double-agents abounded within these networks; each one knew what the others were up to. The British exploited this two-way traffic to let Franco know that if he did not accede to their demands, they would back a restoration of the Bourbon monarchy under Don Juan. This pressure culminated in the meeting of 1943 between Franco and the British Ambassador, Sir Samuel Hoare, at the dictator's country retreat in Galicia, the British underlining their purpose by flying warplanes close by the estate. Following this meeting, Franco almost immediately began to move away from the Axis powers and towards the Allies. The British swiftly dismantled their intelligence networks given that they had achieved their aim. Franco's expulsion of the German naval forces from Spanish ports and the denazification of the regime explains the benevolent attitude of the Allies towards the Spanish dictatorship after the war"--Provided by publisher 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Franco, Francisco,|d1892-1975. 600 17 Franco, Francisco,|d1892-1975|2fast|1https://id.oclc.org/ worldcat/entity/E39PBJrgJM9TM64RVrFt8dPYT3 647 7 World War|d(1939-1945)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180924|1https:// id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vBbhpRH9XvjbDFXtxhb 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xSecret service|zGreat Britain. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xUnderground movements|zSpain. 650 0 Espionage, British|zSpain|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xDiplomatic history. 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|xWestern.|2bisacsh 650 7 Diplomatic history|2fast 650 7 Diplomatic relations|2fast 650 7 Espionage, British|2fast 650 7 Secret service|2fast 650 7 War|xUnderground movements|2fast 651 0 Great Britain|xForeign relations|zSpain. 651 0 Spain|xForeign relations|zGreat Britain. 651 7 Great Britain|2fast|1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/ E39PBJdmp7p3cx8hpmJ8HvmTpP 651 7 Spain|2fast|1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/ E39PBJqFTrvj6Mhw6JfTGmqJDq 655 7 History|2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGrandío Seoane, Emilio.|tBalancing act. |dBrighton ; Portland : Sussex Academic Press, 2018 |z9781845198848|w(DLC) 2017017728|w(OCoLC)982089069 830 0 Sussex studies in Spanish history. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1539180|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
